Americans Favor Impeachment

[Readers will recall my previous articles on the topic. Looks like the ‘net roots has been successful at raising the funds to hire professional pollsters, and the results are beginning to come in. Rove is above to lose his ability to spin media coverage of public opinion unchallenged. -Thomas]
For Immediate Release: October 11, 2005Poll: Americans Favor Bush’s Impeachment If He Lied about Iraq
By a margin of 50% to 44%, Americans want Congress to consider impeaching President Bush if he lied about the war in Iraq, according to a new poll commissioned by AfterDowningStreet.org, a grassroots coalition that supports a Congressional investigation of President Bush’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003.
The poll was conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs, the highly-regarded non-partisan polling company. The poll interviewed 1,001 U.S. adults on October 6-9.
The poll found that 50% agreed with the statement:
“If President Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq, Congress should consider holding him accountable by impeaching him.”
44% disagreed, and 6% said they didn’t know or declined to answer. The poll has a +/- 3.1% margin of error.
Among those who felt strongly either way, 39% strongly agreed, while 30% strongly disagreed.[click on the link above for more infomation]
